Application filed February 4, 1915. Serial No. 5,999.

To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, NATHAN M. ROSEN, a citizen of italy, and a resident of Mount Vernon, in the county of Westchester and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Hats for Ladies and Children, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a hat of novel construction for ladies and children, which is reinforced along the base of its crown so that it is not liable to lose its shape and in which a neat finish between lining and covering is effected.

In the accompanying drawing: Figure l is a perspective view of a hat embodying my invention; Fig. 2 a face view of the lining detached showing it partly broken away; Fig. 3 a cross section of part of the hat; Fig. 4 a cross section of part of the lining, and Fig. 5 a cross section of part of the lining showing a modification.

A strip of textile fabric 1, constituting the body of the lining is provided at one of its longitudinal edges with a tubular pocket 2, which is formed by turning the strip over along said edge and fastening it down by means of a seam 3. Within this pocket there is accommodated, a stay 4L which is made of flat shape and is formed of flexible material so as to readily accommodate itself to the shape of the hat crown. As shown in Fig. 1l, the stay is made in one piece and is covered by a textile housing 5. In Fig. 5, the stay is shown to be composed of a pair of parallel wires 6, connected to each other by a textile webbing 7. rlChe textile housing or covering for the metal stay tends to prevent the metal from bearing uncomfortably upon the head of the wearer, and also provides a friction surface which effectively engages the inner walls of the tubular pocket 2 so as to prevent relative shifting of the material and make any bagging of the lining practically impossible. r)The second longitudinal edge of strip 1, is likewise provided with a tubular pocket 8, within which is accommodated a shirring string 9. y t

The body or shape 10 of the hat is furpocket 2, the stitches being so formed as to extend beneath and thus clear stay 4. Inasmuch as the stay permits the edge of the lining to be-accurately alined with the lower edge of the crown, this stitching will be greatly facilitated, so as to insure an accurate alinement of the parts. Fabric 1 extends from pocket 2 upwardly and inwardly to form a dome or concavity that is adapted to accommodate the head of the wearer.

lThe lining when fitted into the hat will retain its shape for an indefinite period so that thevhat will be reinforced to a correspending extent. So also the objectionable bagging of the lining heretofore generally encountered is entirely dispensed with, and a smooth iinish is obtained which not. only improves the fit of the hat but also contributes materially to the comfort of the plied to the flat stay and frictionally engaging the interior walls of the tubular pocket so as to prevent the stay from shifting its position within the pocket, said lining being Vthus securely held at the upper edge of the flat Vstay so that bagging of the lining is prevented.
